I thought I said it already in easy enough steps but here it is in point form
... assuming you want to create a page called 'MyLibrary' and have that sorted
into the User Contributions category ...

* Go to the main page.
* In the browser's address field you should see
"http://euwiki.ayo.biz/Main_Page"
* Replace this with "http://euwiki.ayo.biz/MyLibrary"
* Click on the 'edit' tab to begin editing the newly created page.
* Place anything you like in the page.
* Place the line ...

[[Category:User contributions]]

anywhere at all in the page. It doesn't have to be at the bottom.

* Click on the "Show Preview" button to see what your page will look like.
* Repeat editing and showing preview until happy with it.
* Click the "Save Page" button.

That will stored you page into the wiki and automatically add an entry into the
User contributions category.
